Hanging the flag of another country is not something we would normally consider, but this is a special case. The idea came from our staff and there was a consensus this was a small gesture we could make to support Ukrainian Canadians.

Last year there were four canopy strikes on the Halifax bridges. This year there have been 18. Look for a series of height guard clearance bars to be installed soon to help drivers figure out when their vehicles are too tall for their selected lane.

Both the Macdonald and MacKay bridges remain closed pending inspections now underway. Last night, we recorded 136 km/h on the Macdonald and 147.6 km/h on the Mackay. Stay tuned

Even the wildlife want to see what's happening on the bridges! It appears an inspector from Harbourside Engineering woke Rocket up from his morning nap. After a brief stare-down, the freelance mercenary retreated quietly. No inspectors were harmed in the taking of this photo.

Bridges will close if sustained wind speeds reach 120km. Sidewalk/bike lane will close when sustained winds reach 85km. Shuttle as needed using crew cab truck, not the shuttle buses. MacKay Bridge will close to high-sided vehicles at 85km sustained winds. Stay safe everyone!

Our CEO Steve Snider found this at an auction recently. It's an engineer’s rendering – completed in 1949 – six years before the bridge opened and at a couple of years before the sod was turned. At this point it was not yet named the Angus L. Macdonald bridge.
